Erin his girl dances on her stockinged feet, trying to get one boot on, hopping on the other foot. He grabs the other boot off the floor from under a chair, "Hey, Browne, I've got your boot!"
"Why thank you, Miusov."
He frowned. Miusov was it? When would she call him Pasha at least here? When she did, he planned to propose. but only if she called him by Pasha. As 'Miusov', the relationship is too distant and he would wait.
Pasha Patrick Miusov soon to be the last & greatest of the Councilman... If they let him.
Raymond Berquist, founder of the new Special Forces for E..S.P. and replacing Topaz in America has the leadership in his palm.
Councilwoman Lim' s courage and regal poise made her the logical next choice for the new Leader, but how to turn her from competitor to friend? Then they instead fall in love.
Berquist is suddenly called to Dauropa on a special task.
Pashsa assumed Raymond would act as promised and adopt him as his son.
Instead Westerman was the new Leader. After that, maybe his mom. But he had plans, too.! Pasha's other rivals' stars were in sunset.
Of course the Council still owns part of his chromosomes. Pasha knew if Councilman Berquist were here he would end their ownership forever! ORIGINAL SOURCE -- OUTLINE FOR STORM OVER DEMNER
Lim is now the greatest female member of the Council eclipsing even the wife of Uri the Elder, Pasha's grand-father.
Whether cooking or on the job, she is passionate in all she does. Graceful, physically fit and with the grace and speed of a ballerina she leaps out of the ski mobile. Chasing two smugglers, spies, she tracks them to a high wire that is strung between mountain peaks. that is made for the gondolas on this world.. In the meantime she grabs the unused track-bar, swings herself off, and with a yell, "I am with the Angels!" rides the wire down the mountain -- and sails over the valley going faster and faster to the next mountain peak! Landing in a pile of late autumn leaves she gets to her feet,brushing off the dusting of last night's fall of snow. Her quarry are not far ahead of her anymore.
Lim's brother, Uri the Younger, and his wife were genetic engineered, too, but who married for love.
Lim;s son Pasha Patrick is also a genetic engineered child. But to Patrick, this new Special Forces Council CREATES the appointed moment .
Even childish pranks that the Council authorized could no longer disguise who he was -- the next leader-- after Westerman and Lim.
As Pasha, or as Patrick his adult name, would be the greatest one they ever had; his potential was yet be measured!
When Patrick became Leader of the Council, he would insist she retire, gracefully, he hoped, because he would eclipse her and only as the proud mother would she be able to get any respect after that. However.....then Erin his girl has something to say!
